Power Of The Greater Truth

Key Scripture:  "It is written..." Luke 4:8-12

Power Point:

      Anytime you're in a skirmish with the devil, you're going to have to listen to him tell you things that aren't true.  Actually his best ploy is to come as an "angel of light", speaking near truths.  Another great tactic that he has is that he will present you with absolute facts that may be true but they don't stand up under the power and provision of the Word of God.

     Jesus gave us a perfect example of how to respond when the devil shows up unannounced.  Because He WAS the living Word, He knew what it said. It was such an intimate part of who He was that He was very adept at using that "sword" against the enemy.

     It occurred to me recently that sometimes when we receive a "BAD report", the facts may be absolutely true, yet there is still a greater truth.

     Suppose you've received a bad report on your finances. The facts are there in black and white but those are the bare facts of that we can see and hear in our natural minds and bodies.

What is the greater Truth?

God promises that you will not lack any good thing.  (Psalm 84, Psalm 23)

He promises that as you give generously to others, you will come to a place where you will need no financial support regardless of your circumstances.  (2 Corinthians 9:8)

     Suppose the devil tells you that you'll never win this particular battle. It certainly looks there's no way out of that addiction or that stress, or that illness.

What is the greater Truth?

God says you are an overcomer.  He says all things are possible with Him.

He says that He will absolutely help you and rescue you and no weapon formed against you shall prosper.

      Are you aware that God considers His truths to be FACTS?  Isn't that an astounding thought?  You see God has this strange idea that what HE has said is the bottom line. You may add up your figures and come to a conclusion, but it's what God says about them that really add up to Truth. He always has a greater Truth than the devil.

     Beloved those giants are going DOWN.  Those "facts" that are robbing you of your peace and joy are about to be swallowed up in God's glorious promises to you.  There is a greater truth  than what you are experiencing right now. There is always a greater truth than the facts that the devil whispers in your ear or your circumstances are screaming at you!  The only weapon that Jesus used against him was the sword that shone with a Greater Truth.  Jesus never looked at the facts.  He was deeply aware of the Truth.

Power Thought:

Whose truth are you going to believe?

What is written on your heart?
